tazzieman Posted 1December, 2014 Report Share Posted 1December, 2014 So, the question is ....... is this car a '81- '83 SC? ...... it seems to have all the signs of it.... With a 2.7 , now there's a backdate for you The car has a story to tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 1December, 2014 Report Share Posted 1December, 2014 With a 2.7 , now there's a backdate for youThe car has a story to tell!Stranger things have happened ......Is there anything (apart from the emissions sticker) that tell you it's a 2.7? That sticker is half peeling off so there's nothing to say its original ....There are also no other stickers at the entrance to the engine bay .....Only the VIN will tell the story ....

SteveF Posted 1December, 2014 Report Share Posted 1December, 2014 Mine is a '76 Aussie delivered narrow body and doesn't have the side indicators. My fog lights are not recessed and I don't have headlight washers. As mentioned above it looks to be a converted US import but as Ronny said the VIN will tell us e everything. Geez, we really know how to pick apart a car!! SimonR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 1December, 2014 Report Share Posted 1December, 2014 Mine is a '76 Aussie delivered narrow body and doesn't have the side indicators. My fog lights are not recessed and I don't have headlight washers. As mentioned above it looks to be a converted US import but as Ronny said the VIN will tell us e everything. Geez, we really know how to pick apart a car!! Well...I wasn't trying to pick it apart! What does your steering wheel look like? Or has it been swapped out from original? I don't think it's a US import based on the front indicators and side indicators - neither were a US option and putting side indicators on a US car is not something most people would bother with. There's also the H4 headlights - can't see the rear bumperettes. LHD wiper parking - my understanding is that is easily changed just by reversing the wipers? I didn't know an 'S' wasn't an Australian option. The emissions sticker is interesting because it shows the CID on it. But maybe the engine was imported but not the car. Maybe it's a UK delivery that had a front end, so had the front replaced with an 84 valance.. Who knows - but it's a half decent looking 911 for 30k - I thought someone who is on a tight budget might be interested....given that there is no such thing as a 'cheap porsche', and will no doubt end up costing more... Someone should just give the guy a call and find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 2December, 2014 Report Share Posted 2December, 2014 Special sporto feature? lol, nope, that's only lack of brake booster! i've had a look at my indicators and they don't look aftermarket (i've also got an old photograph of the car when it was new amongst the service and it has them on it) I don't think there's any such thing as a definite when it comes to 911 model differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 2December, 2014 Report Share Posted 2December, 2014 They were still a hand built car back in the 70s. I'm guessing computerized control was a long way off and you got what was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the whole thing about what's lying around, but surely it's a bit hard to pick up a part that's not coming out for four years!

Russ Posted 2December, 2014 Report Share Posted 2December, 2014 I've just spent some time looking at NA and Turbo 76 77 and 78 911's in Google image search, and it's very rare but some of them have side repeaters. like this Carrera 3.0 once owned by Elton John, that has side repeaters - http://www.ferdinandmagazine.com/elton-john-porsche-911-ebay it's weird and sort of surprising, but then again so is seeing a 1974 targa that has never been fitted with front seat belts (and doesn't even has the mounting points/captive nuts/holes or welded in plate - and it had the original factory panels in there) 924's started in 76 and had side repeaters, i'd be prepared to bet they're interchangeable with 911 ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Speedway Posted 2December, 2014 Report Share Posted 2December, 2014 I thought side indicators went everywhere but America in the mid 70's 911/930? One of the things to look for in LH/RH conversions. Along with wiper and mirror positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A super dooper rare "pre side repeater, side repeater" 911.2. A 911 with an identity crisisNo matter what it turns out to be, I for one am really happy that it has you to love it unconditionally .....(and being a Sporto, it really needs that) ......
